IMHO: the only mods for a vette are those that make it look better or go faster. graphics, stripes and such fall into that category. It's your ride. I like the stock look. I think strips and graphics, except for a show car, cheapen it. You'll never see anything like that on my Baby.

Welcome to the forum!
Why can't more people has your "class" when they voice their opinions? I see you don't care for stipes, yet you are very "polite' about how you express your opnion. Thank you. Now you need to find a "badges" thread and post your opinion there as wel..

A number of forum members have gotten stripes and they look great - - I'm still on the fence on what- if anything- might look right on mine, so I've done nothing with stripes, but lots of little mods from PipeDreams and others that I feel make my car 'my own'..

The nice thing is that with these high quality stripes for the forum sponsors, you can always take them off !

Enjoy - - -

Wonder if that clear bra stuff comes in colors. If so, that could be cut for stripes and applied. If it looks good, paint it. If not, they can be taken off.

The stripes that Mike at vettestripes.com sells are made from vinyl. Stick on peel off.
